The probability that exactly one tank in the sample contains high-viscosity material is P(A) = 0,4607 or P(A) = 46,07 %
The probability of an event (A) is for definition:-
- The probability of an event occurring is intuitively understood to be the likelihood or chance of it occurring.
- In the very simplest cases, the probability of a particular event A occurring from an experiment is obtained from the number of ways that A can occur divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
P(A) = Number of favorable events/ Total number of events FE/TE
If A and B are complementary events ( the sum of them is equal to 1) then:
P(A) = 1 - P(B)
The total number of events is:
C ( 24,4) = 24! / 4! ( 24 - 4 )! ⇒ C ( 24,4) = 24! / 4! * 20!
C ( 24,4) = 24*23*22*21*20! / 4! * 20!
C ( 24,4) = 24*23*22*21/4*3*2C ( 24,4) = 24*23*22*21/4*3*2 ⇒ C ( 24,4) = 10626
TE = 10626
Splitting the group of tanks in two 6 with h-v and 24-6 (18) without h-v
we get that total number of favorable events is the product of:
FE = 6* C ( 18, 3) = 6 * 18! / 3!*15! = 18*17*16*15!/15!
FE = 4896
Then P(A) ( 1 tank in the sample contains h-v material is:
P(A) = 4896/10626
P(A) = 0,4607 or P(A) = 46,07 %
